What Browsers and Screen Resolutions Are Supported?

The JobZone system supports current versions of these browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari. JobZone is optimized for Chrome. Users of Internet Explorer version 7 may find some pages render poorly. Although the system should still function, you may want to consider migrating to a more current version for a better experience on this and other websites. The system is designed for screen resolutions 1024 by 768 pixels or higher. Lower screen resolutions work fine, but you will have to scroll more often.

O*NET™ In-It

The JobZone system uses version 17.0 of the O*NET™ database.

O*NET™ information is obtained through the O*NET™ Data Collection Program using a multiple method approach, including data from job incumbents, occupational experts, and occupational analysts. The O*NET™ system provides valid and reliable occupational information that may be useful for a variety of purposes, such as career counseling, development of job training programs, skill standards and labor market information. It should be noted that O*NET™ occupational information is composite information from many jobs and therefore is not intended to describe a particular job.

This product uses O*NET™ Career Exploration Tools, version 17.0.
